I'll take this one Pedro.

C=5/9(F-32)

Or just google to find a site that'll do it for you.

The other way it's F=9/5C + 32

<tom actually never remembers the equations so just derives them again as needed> (bet THAT sounds scary to all but Janet!!)

Okay, you mathy guys...

My way is a lot easier!! So there!! :Pgrumble grumble....five-ninths of fahrenheit minus thirty-two....BAH! I can't derive anything as needed.....except maybe a gerund or two.... :rolleyes::lol:

Exactlyt!!!!

Only have to remember two points:

0oC = 32oF

100oC = 212oF

(That's freezing and boiling pts of water for all you nonMathS types).

:lol::lol::lol:

*giggle giggle* What Fun!

Yeah, all other Starbucks restrooms have been good...this one not so much.

Thank you for translating for me! :lol:

What I DO know for sure, and I am especially reminded of it when I look at Janet's summary, is that the U.S. is crazy for not switching to metric, like the rest of the world...C'mon, guys, it's all tens! Multiples of ten...how marvelous! Now THAT'S math I can learn to love....or at least, tolerate..... <_<

Heehee it's your basic y = mx + b people!!

Far cry from Fermat's Last Theorem!!!

W/ the Y-intercept handed to you (0oC = 32oF), all you need is the slope of a straight line!!!

Janet, I second your "*giggle giggle* What Fun!"

Yeah, all other Starbucks restrooms have been good...this one not so much.

Ack!! That can't be the one next to WhFds can it? Uhhh downtown Campbell?

Hmmmm there's prob 3 or 4 in betw . .. .

Yes & long ago scientists and engineers etc DID switch.

But the Public doesn't have to do the math & make sure the units all cancel out properly!!!!

I likes me miles, inches, gallons, pints & pounds!!!!! (Tho I did need to learn, long ago, that 1 oz = 28.3 grams, but that's a topic for another forum)

Well, as an artist, all I can get excited about is the straight line...and a sloping one even better... :lol:

...Wait...Fermat's Last Theorem...I remember having to execute passionate, spontaneous gesture drawings embodying this proposition...

If an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation an + bn = cn has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c.

Quite an assignment. The archtecture majors were in heaven... :rolleyes:

What/Where is Big Sur? I wanna go!

Now how'd I miss this?

It's a mostly unspoiled part of coastal central CA - prob 80-90% of what's betw Pebble Beach and Hearst Castle.

"Where the Mountains meet the Sea"

Bet you've seen pix!!

I'll bet a 2-month 5-emoticon addition to your emoticol's limit. Of course, as a zero-sum situation, I'd be depleting my stores by 5 per post.

We on???

Last count, I think there are 8 within a short distance of my place, lol. This one is on Winchester (there are about 3 on Winchester, lol)...it's possible I hit it on a bad day, and this WAS a few years ago...I dunno, never been back there. :P

That was a cute movie, 10 Things I Hate About You

I also liked him in The Four Feathers, a movie that didn't get much attention.

The latest speculation is that it was an accidental overdose from mixing Ambien with an over the counter sleeping aid :o

Hmmmm, guess we can't be writen' smack about Annie, now, can we? (And by "we", I mean YOU!!)

Annie, I have decided, has FINICKY, high-maintenance bowels....every morning, at the cabin, she would not poop until we walked up the road a bit. Would NOT go outside and poop......HAS to be ambulating. :blink: Pooped in the exact same spot three times, all atop each other, rather like a Poop Cairn. :lol:

BUT!!!!!!! (there's always a but) . .. .who built the fIre on your last camping trip????

:lol: 'twas built by a man, not by me. That part was good.....

Julie - the shy bowels, um, did their bidness todya....and clogged the toilet. :ph34r:

And thank you, Annie and I had such a lovely time....I am wondering when I have to take Stinker's photo out of my av? :( Gawd, we miss her......her ashes are ready, I am picking them up tomorrow, and then must select an urn, there is going to be a rather sizeable Stinker Shrine in the dining room niche. :lol:

I finally found my Mastercard ("priceless") little ditty I wrote about Stinker after one of her surgeries.......may post it, wanted to do it before but could not locate it......will it be weird?

Julie - - I REALLY want you to ask if you can let that sweet dog in your house...pleeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will be SO happy to rest his old, aching, cold bones on a soft bed in teh house.....I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Didn't notice your post count, Susie...if you are close to a big turnover, just start posting a whole bunch of "That's interesting"s in many scattered threads. That should jump start'er....

What/Where is Big Sur? I wanna go!

:lol: Well, yes! good idea, and perhaps make it more.........fluid - like..........

BIG SUR is only the most magic place in all the world.......I will explain it to you later........

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate a chicken bowl from El Pollo. Tom - - I can't find out ANY information about the rice - - I THINK IT HAS GLUTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o (crap - fluids will be flowing tomorrow if that is the case)

My top 3 nastiest places....Walmart, JC Penney, and Big Lots.....all I can say is peoples arses explode and it is all over the place....Gross!!

oh dear gawd......

I had to use the bathroom at Chipotle yesterday in Montery - in a big hurry - used the men's - -good Lord - - HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rivers of Wee everywhere - - and HOW HARD is it to flush a toilet? :huh:

Hehehehehe Pseu-zee, I just saw some bank's comm'l (where's Nikki? I was gonna add the alternate 'advert') using Secret Agent Man :lol:

:lol: I saw that too! OMG - - whilst in Big Sur I was chatty w/ some locals - lovely kooks, all of them - - and we talked about JR. I would look closely at them and say, you will not be-LEEVE whom I dated. They would try to guess.......and finally I would say - think, angry little man......no one got it......but when they found out who it was - each told me a story of His Royal Crankiness...........great fun... *snicker*

I SKIPPED THE HELL OVER your fahrenheit conversion nonsense................ <fingers in ears>

la la la la la la la...........I.........can't......hear you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

BTW - SHOCKING about Heath Ledger........way too sad.......

Last year I walked into the womans bathroom at work and someone left a log on the floor next to the toliet. I can see some people having runny accidents, I have been there, where I almost my!issed and all...But a log....sheesh! and these are women!

What bothers me is this is not a public bathroom in which you think, the rest of the hospital does not use it, visitors and such, it is off the beaten path and hard to find. There are only a few of us in the area to use this bathroom....

Someone is a piggy!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
